Trend Alert: Go Graphic or Go Home

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:00:22 -0800

My favorite Spring collection was Dries Van Noten. Graphic prints were an integral part of the eclectic collection. These calculated prints command attention and are stimulating to the eye. Celebrities have already dabbled in this cool trend and it's only going to grow. If you want to be ahead of the curve, go graphic or go home. What's more, circular and angular graphic prints stand alone - you can pair down the rest of your look. Fergie, in Tommy Hilfiger, funked up her graphic print dress with layered bracelets and blue suede sandals, while Tilda Swinton was purely polka doted in her silky Lanvin.

Selma Blair's Black Nathan Jenden Cutout Dress: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Just when I was about to frown upon Selma Blair's stylist for putting her in dowdy outfits for the Hellboy II movie photo calls, she showed up to a party in a sexy black Nathan Jenden cutout dress. I wouldn't mind if it were a tad shorter, but overall it works for Selma's off-kilter style. We've seen cut outs in all shapes and sizes, but here is a fresh approach. The cut outs almost resemble flower petals, and I love their unusual placements. The pointy Louboutin pumps and gold bangles elevate the look but don't distract from the design. Does Selma's black cutout dress wow you or bore you?

Trend Alert: Pretty Pink Shoes

FabSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Nothing says I enjoy being a girl like wearing a pair of pretty pink shoes. These three very different gals showed their feminine sides in pink-hued lovelies. While Selma and Ashley used the color for pop with black on top, the ever-experimental Katy Perry wore pink flats with her bubbly Falls halter dress. If I had to pick a favorite, though, it would be Selma's baby pink LVs. After all her dark looks promoting Hellboy II, she does look like she's enjoying being a girl.

Who Wore It Better? Marc Jacobs Jeweled Dot Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Selma Blair reminded me so much of American dancer Louise Brooks when she wore Marc Jacobs's jeweled dot dress with her short bob at the designer's Fall '08 show at New York Fashion Week. Kate Moss, on the other hand, exudes a more modern, sexy vibe in the same dress, which she just wore at a party in Germany. One can't deny that both ladies are ultra stylish, but each gives off a completely different vibe. Selma is more demure and covered up in her slightly longer dress, while Kate is freely exposing her legs by hiking up the hemline. So, whose vibe are you digging more?

Celebrity Style: Selma Blair

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Selma always seems to have a trick up her sleeve when it comes to fashion - she's one of the few people I've seen attempt the sheer trend and pull it off. Her Marc Jacobs grey cashmere shell and skirt look not only luxurious but comfortable. Insert Coco Chanel quote here: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." Add some simple, beautiful jewelry and a pop of color, and you've got yourself a modern classic.

Marc Jacobs Half-Clear Cashmere Shell - $595.00	Marc Jacobs Cashmere blend pencil skirt - $485.00
Marc Jacobs Backward heel shoes - $1,100.00	Lisa Galibardy Lola Rose Sterling Silver Round Polished Tumble Rng - $162.23

The Bag to Have: Yves Saint Laurent Roady

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:00:08 -0700

Hollywood has a new bag obsession and its name is the Yves Saint Laurent Roady (From $1,195 to $1,495). You know, the one Christy Turlington is showing off in the Fall ads.

Everyone from Kate Beckinsale to Kylie Minogue, Mary-Kate Olsen to Leighton Meester, Tilda Swinton to Rachel Bilson, and Selma Blair to Freida Pinto has already made it their arm candy. The sassy Katy Perry owns the black version with the metal chain insert detail (left). Formerly popular YSL bags like the Muse, Downtown, and Uptown have had more flair, but the Roady is classic and that means it will be a long-lasting friend.
